What year/model are you working with? Normally the illumination wires in Hondas are a pair of wires, Red and Red/Black.

I can't tell you what the Blue/White is, it is not in any of my ETMs for the cars I own (86 Civic, 99 CRV and 99 Accord) But the Red and Red/black for illumination is the same for all of them.

Easier solution

Circuit City/Best Buy

Buy a prewired adapter that you just plug up no cutting and it works.

$15
